Santa Fe officials tout West Texas railway push prospects
Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe officials report preliminary surveys for a San Saba branch of about fifty miles from a Santa Fe point between Lampasas and Brownwood toward the county line. They anticipate broader expansion to include Brady and possibly Menardville, driven by a $2,000,000 irrigation project benefiting 60 000 acres with contracts secured for 20 000 acres. Additional plans include a San Angelo to Sterling City line, and Coleman to Texico construction, signaling rapid progress across West Texas.
